The faction contract includes Rearm & Repair (r&r), so the mech is "insured" and whatever damages/ammo spent is reimbursed by the faction's contract.
So it really makes sense that the faction is willing to split the cheaper bill of house favorites mech (draconis jenner/panther/dragon, lyran awesome/commando/atlas, liao vindicator/raven/cataphract, wolf timber/dire, jaguar ebon, etc). This translates as a 30% c-bill bonus for the favourite house mech.
Possibly only for CW matches, but the normal queue would be good too.
TL;DR: faction favorites gives 30% c-bill bonus.
The sales of early this year are wondrous examples of lists of house mechs.

clan lists are pending as of nov/2015
Any mech of these lists would give a 30% c-bill bonus when used while in contract with the respective faction.
and we should totally have a ComGuards ComStar faction, and a list of star league mechs for the ComGuards preferred mechs (like crab, king crab, battlemaster, marauder - oh yeah! -, warhammer, etc)
EDIT: lists of preferred mechs, flavour text of faction favourites, comguards faction.
